Intersectional Gender. Thinking about Gender and Cultural Difference in the Global Society.
2009
This paper offers locatedness, contextuality, and interconnectedness as crucial concepts for the analysis of gender and cultural differences in global societies. Taking into account the different voices of feminism, and being aware of the perils of essentialization, the concept of “intersectional gender” is proposed as analytical tool. The adjective “intersectional” expresses the idea that gender is inherently constituted and simultaneously shaped by race/ethnicity, culture/religion, and economic conditions. Intersectional gender, defined not as an additive but rather as a constitutive process, un- derscores that any form of gender discrimination is originated and interconnected with other f…
Moves like Jagger - multidimensional attractiveness ratings of opposite-sex dancers
2012
Research has shown that a number of factors, including body symmetry, perceived strenght, vigour, skilfulness, and agility of movements, as well as increased variability and amplitude of the neck and trunk, can affect the attractiveness of dance moves. Perceived femininity/masculinity of body movement likely also plays a role. Here, we compare comprehensive ratings of both male and female dancers' opposite-sex attractiveness, including ratings of femininity/masculinity, with computationally-extracted movement features. Sixty-two heterosexual adult participant watched 48 short audio-visual point-light animations of eight male and eight female adult participants dancing individually to Techno…
Spheres of Influence on Students' Ethical Decision Making
2014
Our study contributes to the literature that explores whether age, gender, and various spheres of influence (religious principles, family values, educational training, workplace environment and peer interactions) affect perceptions of individual ethical behavior. We administered a business ethics survey to undergraduate students at a public undergraduate university in West Virginia. All respondents were asked to agree or disagree with twenty business ethics behavioral vignettes using a 4-point Likert type scale. In addition to these responses, we collected demographic information including gender, age, marital status, and academic major. Respondents were also asked to rank their personal sp…
Marginalità, esclusione sociale e politiche di intervento. Studi e ricerche dei laboratori dei corsi di studio in servizio sociale
2022
Il volume raccoglie alcuni contributi scaturiti da attività di ricerca e didattica di due laboratori dei Corsi di studio in Servizio sociale del Dipartimento Culture e società dell’Università degli Studi di Palermo: il Laboratorio Interdisciplinare di ricerca su Corpi, Diritti, Conflitti e il Laboratorio di Servizio sociale. Marginale è chi vive una condizione di estraneità e non-appartenenza al contesto sociale, chi viene a trovarsi ai margini, ai confini del sistema sociale, a distanza dai processi centrali di distribuzione delle risorse sociali, non solo materiali, a indicare che le disuguaglianze sociali sono strettamente riconducibili a gradi diversi di integrazione sociale, e che la q…
Searching for ways to encourage girls to study technology in primary education
2011
Introduction: Equality and non-discrimination must be actively promoted as part of education, guidance and school culture while also dismantling practices that prevent equality. All pupils must be provided with equal opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills required in society and working life. (Ministry of Education and Culture, 2010.) Traditionally craft as a school subject in Finland has been divided into technical work and textile work, and pupils have to choose which content area to study after grade 4. Boys have mainly chosen to study technical and girls textile craft. National Framework Curricula (1994 and 2004) and the Committee on Alleviation of Segregation (2010) advocate…
Plastic and cosmetic surgery of the male breast
2020
The thorax has a fundamental role in the aesthetic of the male body: Congenital or acquired alterations are experienced as extremely frustrating clinical situations. Most breast surgery texts briefly mention gynecomastia, but no text comprehensively addresses the male breast and thorax, including reconstructive and cosmetic surgery and surgery in transgender patients. This gap is now thoroughly filled by Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery of the Male Breast: After introducing principles of anatomy and aesthetics for the male thorax, the first part focusses on the main congenital malformations and their treatment; the main benign acquired pathologies and their treatment (including an ample section…
CURA, RELAZIONE, PROFESSIONE: QUESTIONI DI GENERE NEL SERVIZIO SOCIALE
2021
La permanenza di una separazione nei ruoli e nelle mansioni lavorative tra uomini e donne, che riproduce la partizione tra sfera privata, legata al femminile, e sfera pubblica, sbilanciata sul maschile, è particolarmente evidente nelle professioni sociali, assistenziali ed educative anche nei Paesi più economicamente avanzati, a prescindere dalle strutturazioni di welfare. A partire dall’evidenza inequivocabile della prevalenza numerica di donne nel servizio sociale − tratto comune alle pur diverse coniugazioni nelle quali la professione si esprime di Stato in Stato − gli autori discutono della questione del genere nel servizio sociale da diverse angolature, offrendo al lettore una ricca pl…
